I sent my story to ED, but I don't know when, or even if I'll hear if it was accepted or not.

From the same artist who brought us those truly d'awwwesome (did I say say that? Confound these ponies. They drive me to compassion!) Celestia-Luna comics;

I particularly enjoyed the text in the description.

OH MY GOD!! :D :D :D :D :D

Princess Luna:

Warming the hearts and minds of bronies everywhere since 2010

@Gwen The story is pretty cute. Most of the stuff I noticed that might need fixing is just simple stuff you can get with a few rereads, such as spelling and grammar mistakes, as well as the flow of some sentences (some words feel like they could be trimmed without the sentence losing its meaning).

One thing I did find a little jarring was reading Luna calling her sister a troll.

EDIT: @Rich Your story is a pretty good read. I really enjoyed the pacing and the way it was narrated. I could definitely feel the mounting hatred.

@Kuroi: Thank you. You're one of three people to actually critique it. XD The spelling and grammar don't surprise me. I'm an awful speller and my writing program has no grammar check. -_- I'll keep those in mind and be more observant next time.

Weee, just a little over 2 hours to draw my latest training grounds submission◊. I hope the text gets my point across. My real person->anime style conversion isn't great. And I know I wasn't trying extraordinarily hard, but it doesn't seem like there's many pictures of the person I was drawing out there, so I had to do some interpreting too. >.>

Doctor Whoof has something to say.

Damn Pears!

Oh boy oh boy, Spend all day at school, and now I get to put on my writer hat!

@Gwen: I actually really enjoyed your story, and though it was very well written. In fact, nothing about it really jumped out at me as felling wrong(And I really, really don't mean to be offensive to anyone else who's work I've critiqued before), which is sort of rare. Well, I shouldn't say that, there was one thing: I found a couple of issue with the characters voices. Even then, it's never consistent or even big, It's just little choices in language that I don't think they would use - Rarity calling Twilight by her full name, for example, I don't think she's done that in the show since she first met Twilight. I also think you might be playing AJ's accent a bit off; It's close, very very close, but the slang just doesn't seem right to me. But that's definitely one of the hardest things to do in writing, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. As for the plot itself, you've got me really interested. You created a really good, semi-spooky atmosphere with the fog, and I love how you handle the pacing of it - you make us wonder what it is, and you let us know that it will be a big issue, or part of it later, but you don't simply launch us into the conflict like someone else might. You've written it like a warning, we have time to take in the characters, but we don't get bored because we know something is going to happen soon. One thing I do have to wonder, and only because it's so early, is how Celestia and Luna are going to factor into it. Because I'm concerned that they might not come back, which would make their appearance in the beginning feel extremely off.

@Rich: Not...really sure where to start on this one.

Now I don't say that because it was bad, mind. But it's a very, very different interpretation of Luna than I'm used to. Because, unless I'm taking it differently from how you intended, it seem like Luna was pretty bitter right off the hop. And while it's a valid idea, and 1000 years is a long, long time, it just doesn't strike me as meshing with the repentant Luna we saw at the end of the second episode. Of course, this is all told from a later perspective, so it may just be the way she is 'now' colouring the way she was 'then' - and unreliable narrator sort of ordeal, which is pretty good. At either rate, you've done an excellent job with creating a strong feeling, I felt a lot of tension come the end of it. There's not much I can say about the prose of it, really. It's not bad, but it's not really spectacular, it's just sort of there. Now that's not a problem, it's really only there to move the story along, but I've always loved my prose to have a sort of feel in and of itself - whether its Pratchett-esque in it's offhanded snark, or rhythmic and flowing. It feels like your going for a sort of rhythm as well, with the occasional single line paragraphs, and I just don't feel like you made it all the way. Even if you weren't going for that, I do recommend thinking about it - it really lends to a story in general, not to mention that Nightmare Moon's dialogue had a real sort of elegance to it in the show, and since it's being told from her perspective (or so I assume, judging from the bitter voice), I think it would help the voice a lot. Of course in the end, that's just my personal preference.

I'm about to write a painful dream sequence where Luna finds herself trapped in her own body as the victim of a Split Personality Takeover, and is forced to watch helplessly as Nightmare Moon manages to "deal with" Princess Celestia permanently, before picking off the Elements of Harmony in their sleep.

How I'm going to write this without crossing over from Sad to Grimdark, I have no idea.

Am I the only one that thinks about the offspring that would be spawns if they could have kids?

• Twilight + Rainbow = Diligent Badass Bookworm
• Pinky + Flutter = Moe
• Rainbow + Apple = Pure Awesome
• Rarity + Apple = ?
• Apple + Pie = The end of the world as we know it
